Posted: December 2, 2011 - 5:40pm

As the year 2011 comes to a close, Bozard Ford Lincoln has announced a new streamlined approach and a hefty goal for their efforts to raise much needed funds for our local schools in 2012. The local dealership is setting out to infuse $100,000 into our schools in the upcoming year. The funds will be generated through multiple programs facilitated by the dealership and Ford Motor Company. In 2011 Bozard Ford implemented such programs as Bozard Gives Back and It Pays to LIKE Bozard Ford. These programs were successful and Bozard Ford Lincoln will continue to offer these programs in 2012. Bozard Ford Lincoln also hopes to grow the Drive One 4 UR School events in the local high schools to maximize the dollars received from Ford Motor Company. Other creative fundraising avenues are in the works as well for 2012.

“We are very proud of the impact that we were able to make in 2011 and feel confident that we can reach our goal in 2012”, says General Manager, Jeff King, “we are committed to finding new, fresh ideas that will allow us to continue to contribute.” Bozard Ford Lincoln’s impact to local school projects will exceed $65,000 for 2011, making the new goal a 53% increase year over year. “Reaching this goal will require us to focus almost all of our community support efforts towards the schools but we feel that it is so important at this time to do just that”, says Letti Bozard, “it is difficult to say no to worthy causes, and there are many, but we feel strongly that our best work and biggest impact can be made in the schools, it is our passion”.
